Each of the units consists of two bedrooms / two bathrooms, and a large living/dining/kitchen area. The floor plan of each of these units has eliminated the optional "den / office" divider. The result is a larger area offering more flexible furniture arrangements while still maintaining the option of including an office area. At 105m2 plus two parking spots each and storage locker, they offer a great opportunity for someone seeking views, security, central location, and first class, all round living...

A Cruise...

We spent this past week on a Caribbean cruise... 7 nights... leaving from Limon, Colon (Panama), Cartagena (Colombia), Falmouth (Jamaica), Grand Cayman (Cayman Island Group) and return... two sea days. This was booked through Vacations-to-Go.com on a 50% discount. We had a stateroom (about 400 sf)... wonderful... king bed, balcony, shower with tub... Total cost for both of us was $2,118 to which is added the $95 each service charge for a total of $2,308... and that included a full drink package which was obligatory in this trip. Service was excellent, food fine, lots of entertainment, good organization, accurate billing, and a beautiful, well designed accommodation with great mattress and bedding... We drove to Limon, parked the car in a secure parking space ($50), and then the Tico organization / disorganization... kicked in... 2 ½ hrs. wait to go 100 m... wow!!!!! incredible... organization is not the best characteristic of tico culture... it was slightly better returning. We traveled with friends (third trip together) and the best part of that -other than their company- was that one of them made all the arrangements (I hate doing that)... I gave her our requirements –a room with outside access— and paid the bottom line... Wonderful!!!!!! Wonderful!!!!!! I also promise never to beat her up if something goes wrong and find something along the way to reward them for their effort... It works for me and I think for them as well. And since they are Canadians, we didn’t speak once about Am. politics... wow!!! what a relief!!!

Cruise line: Pullmantur - they have 4 ships / this ship / cruise itinary, “Monarch” caters to the Latino market so Spanish was the main language... but announcements were also made in English... and wait staff speak English and many speak Portuguese (not important to us). The ship carries 2,766 passengers when full and it seemed pretty full, 800 staff... was built in France in 1991 and refurbished about 6 years ago. I think it is rated a 3 or 3.5*... it was fine... clean, well maintained. Staff was mainly from Honduras, Brazil, Colombia and the Philippines... .but total nationalities represented was around 30 different countries. Lita worked her Filipina heritage to meet a number of wait staff as well as the head chef. This is the second time we have taken this ship... we are not experts on ships but found this cruise line and ship to be fine... we can’t think of anything that was missing and wanted for nothing. As far as I am concerned, whoever hires, trains, and supervises the staff does an excellent job... we couldn’t have been happier with those who waited or served us. We drank more great coffee accompanied by Irish Cream or brandy than I have in the past 20 years but none of us are big drinkers... and two... Lita being one... were complete non-drinkers. Dinners were served (our choice), for lunches we usually went to the upper deck buffet, we usually took breakfast in the dinning room where coffee and orange juice were served and the rest was buffet. They had “theme” nights for dress but not obligatory, dress was casual all the time... Lots of over weight people, many with kids, a complete age range of passengers, mostly all Latinos from all over Central and South America... with CR, Colombia, and Panama being the largest groups. Very few N. Am.

The ports of call were forgettable... with Cartagena being the exception) as far as I am concerned... for Lita it is about the food, the experience, the service... for me, it is about keeping her happy... I learned late in life that a happy wife means the possibility of a happy life... Without that, there is no possibility!!!

Progress: Well, maybe. My suite, along with many others, against INS -the national insurance agency- who gave performance guarantees on a construction project which defaulted... seems to be back on again. The INS challenged the jurisdiction and competency of the Chamber of Commerce Dispute Resolution facility which is used a lot and is usually specified in contracts is something goes off the rails. The group was asked to rule on their competency... of course they found themselves competent... and INS seems to have lost that argument... at least for now... the lawyers have been ordered by the institute to refile their arguments... mine will be included...w e'll see... I fully expect many twists and turns... INS is on the hook and will do everything they can to minimize or escape the consequences of a bad decision.

Comments

1. The Public Is Screwed again... wow!!!!!

1. Fuel Price Reductions... well...???

The National Oil Refinery (RECOPE) requested two fuel price cuts in the past month and international prices of oil products this week fell to their lowest levels in the thepast three months, but motorists in Costa Rica are unlikely to benefit from those circumstances anytime soon.

The Public Services Regulatory Authority (ARESEP) suspended its evaluation of both of RECOPE’s requests, alleging that the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Court, or Sala IV, has barred ARESEP from acting on the request until the court rules on a complaint filed by the Costa Rican Chamber of Industries (CICR) against the price calculation methodology.

Both of RECOPE’s requests correspond to declines in international prices of oil. The first one filed in October asked for a ¢9 cut in the per-liter price of Diesel and of ¢2 in the price of Plus gasoline.

The second request filed Friday would have lowered per-liter prices an additional ¢21 for Super gasoline, ¢20 for Plus and in ¢16 for Diesel.

If approved by the regulatory agency, a liter of Diesel would have gone from ¢467 to ¢443 ($0.83-0.79); Super, from ¢579 to ¢560 ($1.03-1); and Plus, from ¢554 to ¢534 ($0.99-0.95).

Price settings on hold

ARESEP requested that Sala IV Justices explain why the agency is not allowed to set prices until the Sala IV ruling takes place. The agency is worried about a lengthy wait, since justices do not have a deadline to issue a ruling and could take months or even years to do it.

RECOPE this week also submitted an “urgent request” to the Sala IV to allow ARESEP’s to revisit fuel prices.

The request would allow the regulatory agency to proceed with pending price adjustments and also with future settings required for the purchase, import and distribution of fuels in the country, RECOPE said in a public statement.

ARESEP spokeswoman Carolina Mora said the delay “might cause strong differences” between local and international prices, and problems for RECOPE derived from budgeted costs they used to plan future purchases of fuels from international markets.

Mora said that RECOPE’s first request should have been resolved by Oct. 28, while the one filed last week should have been ready within the next two weeks and go into effect at the end of this month.

The appeal

The CICR brought the complaint before the Sala IV in response to a complaint filed by Social Christian Unity Party lawmaker Luis Vásquez in August. Vázquez asked the justices to overturn an executive decree continuing a subsidy included in the prices of gasoline and diesel since 2008 to maintain the price of cooking gas.

CICR Assistant Executive Director Carlos Montenegro said in a public statement that ARESEP’s decision to refrain from approving price settings is completely unfounded. He argues that according to the chamber’s legal advisers, ARESEP is misinterpreting the Sala IV orders.

“ARESEP’s legal interpretation is like that of a judge who stops trying people for their crimes just because someone challenged the country’s Penal Code,” Montenegro said.
